In order to deploy the new version of the website, we will be performing maintenance tomorrow morning (13 January) between 06:00 and 08:00 CEST.

During this time the Gandi website and the reseller APIs will be inaccessible.  It will not be possible, therefore, to perform any operations to purchase, renew or modify Gandi products during this time.  This maintenance should last less than half an hour but we we are of course leaving sufficient margin in case a rollback may be necessary.

The VPS Server, Gandi Mail, Blogs, Gandi Sitemaker, and other Gandi services will not be affected by this maintenance.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

Following a change in the Chinese registry, which is (in)directly managed by the Chinese government, it is no longer possible for us to sell .CN domains.

After an initial change at the end of last year that surprised everyone in limiting purchase of these domains to companies only, the registry has just added a very clear and simple rule: in order to have stricter control over the domains that are sold, they simply and plainly forbid new registrations to registrars that are not Chinese!

Renewals and transfers do not appear to be concerned by this for the time being, though we are not immune to unwelcome surprises.

We will keep you informed as events unfold. ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:41:00 +0100 tag:ziki.com,2010:/article/12708124 -50% discount for .ME extensions http://iwi.gandibar.net/post/2010/01/05/-50-discount-for-ME-extensions

The Registry in charge of .ME (nic.me) extensions is offering a -50% promotion in creating new .ME domains. Domain transfers and renewals are not affected by this promotion.

This means creating new .ME domain names are on sale at $12.00, or 7£, (excluding tax) for A rates until February 1st 2010.

This is of course a great benefit to the 28 countries of the European Union where accented characters are very common: http://www.eurid.eu/en/eu-domain-names/idns-eu.
There will not be a Sunrise period to guarantee protection of existing trademarks. The registry has chosen to use the "first-come, first-served" approach. This means that if you already own a domain name in its unaccented version, you will not be given priority for buying the same domain in its accented version. For more information on .EU Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), we recommend visiting their FAQ on the topic.

You can already start placing your accented .EU domain order requests at Gandi! All pre-registration requests will be sent to the registry (in the order that we received them) on December 10th. Orders that cannot be completed will be fully refunded. To pre-register an accented .EU domain name at Gandi, simply write it in its accented form in the domain name search box on Gandi's home page.

As a reminder, the IDN System is specified by RFC standards 3490, 3491 and 3492. This system is now recognized by all modern web browsers (ex. http://www.스타벅스코리아.com). However when using IDNs for email, only the encoded version (below) is recognized at present. It is not possible, for example to have an email address like ryan@스타벅스코리아.com.

Technically, the "special" characters are encoded using a conversion table. This is why an IDN domain name will begin with the four characters: xn––. For example: bébé.eu becomes xn-–bb-bjab.eu. So ryan@bébé.eu would become ryan@xn-–bb-bjab.eu for use in email.

IDNs are also now available on a first-come, first-served basis!

In order to register a .PT domain, you must have a Portuguese taxpayer ID, as well as a document that proves that the domain name corresponds to a trademark, family name etc. (for example: the TVA number of the company Martin would be needed to register martin.pt).

If you do not meet this criteria, you can nonetheless register a .COM.PT domain. These domains are open to everyone, with the condition that individuals must provide a national ID number or passport number, and companies must provide their intra-Community VAT number.

The registration .PT and .COM.PT domains are sold at €24 ($35, or £22) excl. VAT per year under A rates. Transfers of .PT or .COM.PT to Gandi are available at only €1 ($1, or £1) for all.

See the .PT information page.

We will be performing a major network maintenance operation during the night of 19 to 20 November in order to further improve our infrastructure.

This maintenance will commence on 20 November at 01:00 AM CET and finish at 07:00 AM CET.

During this time, three connectivity outages are expected, each lasting approximately one hour and will impact most Gandi services.

All hosting operations will be suspended throughout the maintenance period.

Today we have launched the functions allowing you to manage your own interfaces. You may configure up to 4 interfaces per server.

To add an additional interface, you will need to add additional IP address quota via the resource management interface.

Each additional IP address costs €1 excl. VAT per month (if paid monthly), or €10 (ex VAT) per year if paid annually, e.g. 2 months free!

This new function lays the foundations for us to provide you with some really cool features in the future such as an IP failover system, the utilization of IPv6 addresses or even creating a private networks between your servers.

As this has been at the top of your Wishlist for several months, we sincerely hope that this new feature will make you smile!

You can find documentation on this in our wiki here.

What does this mean for you? Those of you that have already had a taste of .it domains (and our poor customer service department) know what I'm talking about. This new mode means the following improvements:
  • There are no longer any complicated faxes in Italian that need to be sent. This has been replaced by a slightly different sales contract that we have included in our new contract.
  • Likewise, for a transfer, if the loosing registrar operates under EPP, you will no longer need to fax forms, but rather, supply an auth code just like .com or .net domains, for example.
  • The zonecheck is still used however.
As a reminder, .IT domains are open to everyone that is living in the European Union, ad you must still indicate your VAT if you are a company or a personal ID number if you are a person, during the registration process. ]]> Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:00:00 +0200 tag:ziki.com,2009:/article/12708130 30% off .TV domains! http://iwi.gandibar.net/post/2009/09/29/30-off-TV-domains We are accredited for .AM and .FM, and these extensions will be on sale by the end of the year. However you can already benefit from your own domain in .TV with a 30% off new registrations, or for only €18.20 excl. VAT per year under A rates.

The promo does not apply to creations after the first year, renewals, or transfers, which already benefit from a low price at Gandi.

The .TV extension is open to all.

]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:33:00 +0200 tag:ziki.com,2009:/article/12708131 Gandi AI 1.2 - update available http://iwi.gandibar.net/post/2009/09/24/Gandi-AI-12-update-available A new version of Gandi AI, labeled 1.2, is currently available via the server module management page of your account. This version corrects many bugs and imperfections that were present in version 1.1. It also significantly improves the performance of Apache due to the replacement of the mpm-itk module by a per-user module.

We are also going to take advantage of this upgrade to implement two additional modules:

  • PunBB, an efficient open-source forum that is solid, light, and written in PHP
  • Magento, a (the?) open-source platform that allows you to create an online store. Many add-ons are available on the MagentoConnect platform, such as the possibility of customizing the design of your store, changing the language of your interface, or to activate the payment platform of your preference. Also note that Magento needs 2 to 3 shares to run correctly.

As many of you probably already know, Gandi has customers in 192 different countries.
We have historically sold the most domain in the French-speaking market, though looking closely we see that our Belgian neighbors are under-represented...Ça alors !


And since the Registry of our dear neighbors is having a nice promo, we hereby declare September as ".BE month"!

We will sell .be domains at 2 euros excl. VAT (2.39 euros incl. VAT) for creations and transfers (which includes a free year renewal) in all the rate scales.

So, our Belgian friends and friends of Belgians (you do not need to be Belgian to have a .BE), welcome to Gandi!
